Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China by Evan Osnos

4.0

I only give this four stars because I reserve that rating for books that totally floor me, and while this was incredibly written, and was an insanely good portrait of an impossibly complex country, it did not totally blow me away. So count my four as my own stinginess and not as a reflection of Osnos' skill as a writer and a journalist. This is 100% worth reading if you want to get a complex picture of a country that we in the west tend to think of only in terms of stereotypes. Also, read everything he writes in the New Yorker. He's incredible.
